All fixed by Dave The Best Handyman!
Ezra G.

I just want to compliment Dave The Handyman on his fast, efficient, easy no fuss job. Many thanks for making this project less stressful than it would have been.

WARNING: IMMATURE, NOT DEPENDABLE &VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. See text screenshots...Dave scheduled appointment w/me for 9A on Friday. I sent a "good morning, see you soon" text to him at 7:14A on Friday morning. He texted me back at 9:24A - 24 minutes after he should've been here. After 10A, he still hadn't arrived. I have a schedule to keep and I wasn't sure when he would actually arrive, so I sent him a cancelation text. Instead of apologizing and moving on with his day, he responded by telling me that I wasted his time. Huh?? You're an hour late ...clueless. I sent him a very detailed text letting him know that actually wasted my time and that he was in the wrong, starting at 9A when he didn't call or arrive on time. He must be young...certainly not wise. His tardiness wasn't my main issue - it was the lack of communication when he knew he was going to be late. Also, his subsequent communication s were rude and insulting. What a foolish person.

White patches that we requested Dave return to finish, but he informed us he is now unavailable to stop by for over a month.

The quality of Dave's work was largely good, and he offered reasonable, practical solutions to the items we discussed. Dave's follow-through with communication was very disappointing for 1. receipts/invoice and 2. follow through with minor touch ups. The moment we paid him in full--which we did the same day the last work item was completed--Dave became largely unavailable. While Dave explicitly stated he would send the receipt the same day we paid, we did not receive it and we had to text him three times over 5 days. He finally responded to the 3rd text stating he will send the receipt "shortly." It still hasn't arrived 11 days later. The lack of transparency is particularly concerning because the final bill was significantly higher than the initial estimate; though the scope of work increased, we have no way to verify the final costs without an invoice and receipts. We also noticed that the area he painted after work was done had white patches. We requested him to complete the paint touch up. When Dave finally responded to our outreach regarding the touch-ups after 5 days and 3 follow up texts, he informed us he could not return for more than a month due to a busy schedule. When we pointed out that we had paid for a complete job to be finished in a timely manner, he told us he could "send us some money for a paintbrush if it's that much of an emergency" so we could do it ourselves. Given we paid in full, we still don't have an invoice, and the paint was not done properly, we are disappointed at his dismissiveness and lack of availability to follow through.

First Yelp, I erased Dave slandered me said I never get a refund, usually does good work, when he made a mistake he wouldn't make it right.

I had to erase my first yelp , as I was slandered by Dave the handyman. Do not trust him, he does good work, but believe all the one stars, he is a liar kept my front door key , had to change a brand new lock. I worked with him for years, then all of a sudden, he messed up refinishing a countertop, said he would fix it, I waited 3 months , then he snapped when I yelped him. Luckily I used my credit card and was refunded one thousand dollars after he texted me no refunds never pay anybody until you inspect their work.

I recently hired Dave the Handyman to install a large, exterior Coolaroo roller shade for a window since my back room gets very hot in the summer. Communication was done via Yelp message with type of project, sending a pic of the item and then pricing provided. I didn't check with other like businesses as I felt the price was in the range and wanted to have it installed sooner as it's been hot! We did have a miscommunication on the initial date but set up a date/time the next week. He was professional and arrived on time, which I appreciate. The shade was quickly installed with him checking with me on the location, how far out etc. and done in an hour. I would definitely not hesitate to call/Yelp message him again for other projects.

Dave is the MAN, I called him about replacing a really old front door knob to a new security code handle. He answered, asked if I could Text over some pictures of the door. After doing so he sent me a really reasonable quote, and days he is available. With in a day my door knob is updated and works amazing! He had to fix a few things to make sure it shut and locked smoothly. I'm so happy with it, he was super professional, made sure I was ok with everything before he left and ask if I had any more questions or concerns. I WILL BE CALLING DAVE AGAIN!

I recently hired Boyes Electric for two major projects at my home: replacing my subpanels last fall…read moreand, more recently, installing a new main electrical panel and a Level 2 EV charger. Both experiences were outstanding. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer questions, explain the work being performed, and ensure everything was completed correctly. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and attention to detail. Communication was prompt throughout the process, scheduling was straightforward, and the work was completed efficiently. The crew treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and thoroughly cleaned up when the job was finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of workmanship and service provided. It's becoming increasingly rare to find contractors who consistently deliver on all fronts, but Boyes Electric exceeded my expectations every time. I would not hesitate to use them again for future electrical projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused electrical contractor. If you're looking for top-notch electrical work backed by excellent service, Boyes Electric is an easy five-star recommendation.

These guys did a fantastic job adding 4 light fixtures, 2 outdoor GFCI, wiring some outlets etc…read more While these are relatively simple job, retrofitting a century old house comes with a lot of caveats. From Sal coming to provide a quote to them managing Berkeley's permitting regime to making sure everything is done to the strict code, they did everything well with great communication and avoided delays for my plaster and paint crew to start on time. Would highly recommend this crew and would love to work with them in the future for any of our need.

He said he'd come out to give me a quote after seeing the work that was needed but never showed up. On the day he was supposed to show up 2 hours past the approximate time expected I texted Jovan.

I found out a gfi connection was bad, whatever that is! He was quick to respond and I got a quote for him to come in. Usually calling is always best for yelp quotes. Fair enough because that's how it works with these electrical guys. Came in on time and explained to me what was going on with details. Luckily it wasn't that big of an issue. Took him a little over an hour so he had to add to the final invoice which is fairly priced. The guy is a one man team so perfect of these household work. I love working with small businesses, all the bigger guys charge way higher. No issues what so ever so and very professional. I will hire him again for my other projects in lighting that I need. Awesome job. THANK YOU!! 10/5 stars lmao
